Catherine Pelosi: My Favourite Curious Minds in Children’s Literature

To celebrate our Better Reading Kids’ Book of the Week, Quark’s Academy – a jam-packed, science adventure celebrating curious minds, invention and discovery – we had the author, Catherine Pelosi, compile a list of her favourite curious minds in children’s literature. Full of plucky and intelligent protagonists, this list is guaranteed to keep young readers engaged to the last page!

I’ve always considered curiosity to be one of the most admirable qualities someone can have. Curiosity makes so much possible. It opens doors, creates adventures, uncovers, reveals and explains. There are many characters in kids’ fiction who have curious minds, but these are my favourite.
